The latest versions of UBI usually include it as a replacement for some social service payments like EI. However, the initial idea behind UBI was to account for automation replacing a lot of jobs that will result in many more people than jobs available. I don't think that $1000 was ever intended to cover all social services.

Locke mentioned the ensuing madness from countries that have tried UBI. That's hyperbolic and there are mixed results, as you'd expect.
